i doubt these new micro pcs (nuc brix etc) will have better sound quality than say a standard s/h laptop or pc
so i wouldn't think that shelling out on a new micro pc will give you better sound
if buying new it would be worth considering a low cost simple audio pc build that will have superior sound

Nigel, what would be the minimum spec for a computer that would be sited in a not too large music room? Operation would be headless, things like fans become nuisances in that environment.

well fans are pretty much out of the question for audio pcs
the minimum specs really depend on whether your gonna use or may want to use in the future daphile, mqn, or jplay
daphile wont need a really high spec'd machine
so both headless and fanless
basic level parts based on a pico psu and linear power maplin xm21x will cost from €400 - 600
